Redesigning 3DS

Changes IGN would appreciate when the Nintendo 3DS gets redesigned

LX-General-Kaos5150d ago (Edited 5150d ago )

In the eyes of many a gamer worldwide, the Nintendo 3DS console is already the industry leading handheld. A redesign with a second circle pad would push it over the limit as one of the most legendary devices ever created.

It is already backed by industry leading tech with dual screens to give the players complete battlefield control at all times. State of the art 3D, no glasses required. Well equipped with a healthy and forever growing arsenal of 1st party and 3rd party exclusives. Combine all of that with the perfectly capable next generation graphics glistening from both screens, its not hard to see how the 3DS achieved the number 1 spot.

If you think things are going great now. Try imagining the success of a Nintendo 3DS redesign. Nintendo has proven time and time again that hard work, 1st class exclusives, and bleeding edge tech & innovation pays off. The world would be taken by storm and not a soul would be ready for it.

Rated E For Everyone

waaw you sure are enthusiastic when it comes to nintendo products.

Thats because his real name is Reggie Fils-Aime....or at least he acts like it is

tehpees35150d ago (Edited 5150d ago )

Raiinstorm its an interesting theory you have but I do believe its nonsense. After all Reggie's body is ready. His body most definitely isn't. He is perfectly satisfied

I imagine the 3ds would then take off like the DS line did when the ds lite came out...........

100+ million in sales wouldnt be a dream

dark-hollow5150d ago

I really hope to see an AMOLED panels on the next 3ds redesign.

I'm curious, does Reggie Fils-Aime serve you his reggie juice in a cup or is it inserted directly into your anus? "legendary device," "next gen graphics?" Hardly.

You'd think they'd have seen the failings in the PSP's single "analog" nub. I'm sorry, but having spent plenty of time with Kid Icarus: Uprising, it's plain to see the current design is flawed and Nintendo needs to step away from the stylus for core games where camera control is vital.

Instigator5150d ago

The problem with games that need both stylus and circle pad control on the current 3DS is that it screws over lefthanded gamers. It wasn't a problem with the DS because it was symmetrical, but the 3DS only has righthanded support. Statistically, 20 percent of the world population is left handed. That's a hell of a lot of sales out the window because of poor design choices.

As for the placement of the circle pads I wanna see a standard controller approach; Diagonally below the face buttons.

I agree with all of IGN's changes and I'd like to add: a better music player. Or should I say louder? Seriously, its like the max volume is set for infants. My ipod is WAY louder than this. Come on Nintendo, big kids play this thing too.

Edit: Oh yeah, and since it can support it: custom soundtracks. MarioKart to your own music. Too good to be true.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi46d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer47d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot47d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno47d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay46d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno45d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK45d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
